The 2021 Adopt-A-Book program final push in support of the Military History Research Centre was a big success, thanks to your support. In less than 12 hours all the remaining books were sponsored. In fact, the Adopt-A-Book final push raised enough money to buy an additional 20 books for this year. Your generosity increased the Friends contribution from 55 to 75 books, the highest yearly total ever. The Friends thank all who supported Adopt-A-Book. Special recognition to Doug Beaton and Louise Fox for their generous donation.
The 2022 Adopt-A-Book List will be released in the coming months so stay tuned. Your efforts in supporting Adopt-A-Book are reflected in the picture above. After a long pandemic break, Jean Morin, supported by Paul Durand, Supervisor of the Military History Research Centre, are inserting inscriptions reflecting your donations. "I wanted to take a second and also say thank you for supporting us. Although there are lots of fun reasons to work in a library and museum, collections development is definitely high on the list. Your support helps us be able to do that year after year", Paul notes. Adopt-A-Book provides tangible and immediate benefit to the CWM so let's keep up the momentum for 2022. |
